No cost to telling lies

…might be one summary of the current phenomenon we know as “social media” these years. Before even going to the concept of misinformation (or rather, disinformation), we ought to be able to agree that social media is replete with falsehoods and outright lies.

How will you put the brakes on the wanton spread of harmful falsehoods online? If we value truth – or approaching the subject from a different angle – acknowledge that viral falsehoods has a potential to harm individuals, groups or even society as a whole, then we must also realize that we cannot slow the online (dys-)culture of lying, if lies told do not come at a cost; that is, if people are willfully able to tell lies with no inhibition, pause or remorse whatsoever.

The Blitz, 75 years in retrospect and perspective

7th of September, 1940 – on this month, it is 75 years since London (and other major United Kingdom cities) started bearing the brunt of the of the Nazi-German ‘Blitz’, a series of massive bombings of industrial facilities, but more known for its purposeful targeting of the civilian populace, aimed at demoralizing the population up to the expected invastion (operation Zeelöwe / Sea Lion) of the island.

While the loss of life was great, with well over 44,000 lives perished, the devastation of the cities was likewise massive. The effect of the Blitz however was the opposite of the intended demoralisation; it galvanised the popular spirit of the war effort under Winston Chuchill’s resistance of the Nazi war machine, which eventually was smashed and the totalitarian system and ideology behind it, utterly crushed.

However the British were not the only ones to suffer the terror of war atrocities – as the tides of war turned, the Allies were increasingly raiding the Nazi production capacity, and one centre of such was Hamburg. The city was air-raided over the span of a week in late July 1943, with terrible conseqences – over 42,000 dead due to firestorms due to incendiary bombs igniting the dry lands, resulting in the formation of a enormous firey vortex that did not only torch the housing like a blast furnace, but claimed lives by the absolute horror of its victims being sucked into the vortex due to the underpressure created by the superheated air rising rapidly into the skies.

Likewise, the raid of Dresden in Feburary 1945 – 70 years ago – was an example of wartime terror, claiming up to 25,000 lives.

In the Sino-Pacific theatre, there was the Rape of Nanking / Nanjing which claimed at he very least 40,000 lives and untold human suffering due to unrestrained rape of it inhabitants at the hands of the Japanese. Conversely, the American firebombing of Tokyo, considered the most destructive conventional air raid in history with at least 88,000 dead and over a million left homeless, the raids on Japan culminating in the Nukes over Nagasaki and Hiroshima with its over 100,000 dead, are likewise examples of the enormuous bloodshed and destruction inherent to war. (Additionally, compare these casualty counts to the hundreds of thousands of lives lost, military and civilian, in the embittered and supremely intense fighting on Iwo Jima and Okinawa).

In war, there will be variations of the brutality on the different sides, but there are no single party that are exempt from perpetrating atrocities.

A current example of subtotalitarian ideology

This is a case-in-point of the poison that ‘feminism’ has become:

On Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that a school in Oxford has become the first to introduce “Good Lad” workshops, in which boys are singled out for sessions that teach them about “the scale of sexual harassment and violence aimed at female students” and how they must stand up for women’s rights.

…      In November last year, The Times reported on a programme in London Schools in which two American women, one a former sex crime prosecutor, “re-programme teenage boys’ sexual manners so they are fit for a feminist world”.

…       By all means, let’s teach children about healthy relationships, but that’s not really what these campaigns are about. Instead there is an overwhelming emphasis on imposing an ideological worldview that first and foremost sees young men as potential abusers and perpetrators, while routinely ignoring and minimising the very real threat of violence, both physical and sexual, that boys and young men face themselves.

This is what feminism has slowly become over the past half-century. ‘1st wave feminism’, a term that the most recent feminists have coined to appropriate the laurels of those who took the first, dangerous, steps to enable women to live and experience life more freely, the equal-francise agitators of the 19th century, and the 2nd wave feminists, the ones that pushed to further increase female participation in society through educational institutions and workplaces.

The 3rd wave ‘feminists’ however, is a camp of toxic madness dressed up in decent attire – with a core of pretentious writers and ‘cultural personalities’ that popped up and after in the cultural-sexual revolution post-1967, where sexuality (incl. pornography, which was incidentally legalized in Denmark in 1968 as the first country in the world) was not only freed, but was used as a political tool, which Frankfurt-school sociologist Herbert Marcuse noted it had to become, since the traditional revolutionary ideologies had failed miserably.

..which leads me to note that certain ideologies that are so well-meaning, and intend to change the whole world for the better, end up doing horrifying messes.

(That one specific umbrella of ideologies that rose in 1848 had a lighter face that gave rise to significant good for millions of people, but its darker face ended up being the worst scourge the world had ever seen in terms of lives lost, crushed under the iron-clad weels of the machine that pushed towards progress.)

So, the feminists of today as alwas say they have good intentions of e.g. reducing violence again women. The claims we’ve heard for over 20 years are that men are the violent scourge of the earth – we are violent, brual, caveMEN, we are the sole cause of the wars in the world, and most of all, rapists (the #1 bogeyman and beserk-inducing dark effigy of modern feminists.)

However…

You’d never know it from the rhetoric, but a man – and particularly a young man — is around twice as likely to be a victim of violent crime as a woman. And it’s not just drunken street violence either. A 2009 NSPCC report into domestic violence in teenage relationships, showed teenage boys suffer comparable rates of violence from their girlfriends as do teenage girls from their boyfriends.

As you may have heard, violence against girls and women, even rape, is something men won’t do if only they are taught no to do so. Thus, men, and in particular, buys are put into the grinder of being ‘taught’ not to be violent and rape.

In the same year another report, this time by Childline, found that of the children who called to report sexual abuse, a total of 8,457 were girls (64pc) and 4,780 were boys (36pc). The charity also found boys were more likely to say they had been sexually abused by a woman (1,722 cases) than by a man (1,651).

What comes to mind is the somewhat recent, very large number of female schoolteachers in the U.S. that end up in criminal court due to having sex with their male pupils. Are these cases rape? Are these boys  entirely aware of what is happening, and what they are getting into? If it is not fully-informed consent, is it not rape, according to the feminists? Would not male teachers that pushed younger female students into having sex with them be shown publicly and branded as a rapist to not only his enormuous shame, but at a great danger to his life, since targeted violence againt men that have comitted sexual abuse is common. (Many have to do a namechange and relocate to live safely and unburdened from their past).

Usually the girls/women (and many guys as well) snicker a bit at these going-ons. After all, men are those brutish a creatures, always wanting sex, so getting sex with your teacher must be good, though awkward (as women that have sex/go into relationships with younger men stand out, as the typical female desire is to choose a male partner older than herself.

In March, the Government announced the introduction of new consent classes for children aged as young as 11*. The plans were launched on International Women’s Day and the PSHE guidelines repeatedly state they are primarily part of the Government’s A Call to End Violence Against Women and Girls strategy.

According to a “Fact Sheet” published by one of the guidelines’ key contributors, a top priority for the lessons is “challenging notions of male sexual entitlement” and the lessons should be seen “in the context of a society in which gender inequality is the norm… and girls and young women are subjected to high levels of harassment, abuse and violence – overwhelmingly from men and boys they know”.

*) Get ’em while they’re young. As it happens, totalitarian movements and ideologies all ahev in common that children must be indoctrinated as soon as possible, last they develop free identity and notions counter to the exalted ideology.

What impact must all this be having on boys and young men, who are themselves at one of the most vulnerable stages of their lives? Last year, insideMAN published findings of a focus group of young male students, which gave a disturbing glimpse into the ideological classroom climate faced by boys, this time told by young men themselves.

They told us that when it came to expressing any view that contradicted feminist orthodoxy, they were shouted at and publicly humiliated. They said their motives routinely came under immediate suspicion simply on account of their gender. And they said they wanted to be protected against fundamentalism by prominent and leading figures in the campaign for gender equality.

Bullying is the usual tactic of cliques, and bullying on this scale is intense and abusive in a way that leads to mental scars that will take years to heal.

After visiting a classroom … Doris Lessing …  told the Edinburgh Book Festival, “I was in a class of nine- and 10-year-olds, girls and boys, and this young woman was telling these kids that the reason for wars was the innately violent nature of men.

“You could see the little girls, fat with complacency and conceit while the little boys sat there crumpled, apologising for their existence, thinking this was going to be the pattern of their lives.” Lessing expressed deep concern that what she had witnessed was just a glimpse of an increasingly pervasive culture of toxic feminism in schools that was weighing down boys with a collective sense of guilt and shame.

Which it quite what it is – toxic feminism, which is causing and will cause untold harm to buys and men, moreso in that this feminism, like any other ideology engaging in entryism, has been creeping into the institutions of both government and education; purportedly seeking doing-good and further liberation of women will get you far in this age of progress and equalization, and once in the positions of influence and power, the fair garb will be cast off and the dark being beneath will come forth and do its deeds.
